Stayed here while attending conference at University of WA in June. Hotel has a very cool roaring 20's kind of feel. Beautiful lobby and great attention to details. Decorator obviously captured the feel of the era. Rooms are small but very comfortable and clean. Room doors only have a chain on them for the added security you like to have but this probably due to age of hotel. We were on 11th floor and air conditioner was not functioning as well as we would have liked. Hotel staff at all levels were very helpful and responsive to anything you needed. Hotel very close to many restaurants that you can walk to but not anything fancy. This hotel in area close to college so mostly college town type eateries. We were approached every time we walked down University Ave.by homeless people. some more aggressive than others but we were not concerned for our safety only surprised to see this in this area. Tully's coffee place attached to hotel where you can get great coffee and tea and quick snack. This is great to have in hotel. Hotel also has a very nice restaurant if you want to stay within hotel Also, Very easy walk to University of Wa campus which is beautiful!

Dear cardave413,

Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your recent visit to the hotel. I am so glad so many aspects of your visit were enjoyable. I have asked the engineering team to take a look at the air conditioning system on the 11th floor to ensure whatever occurred during your visit is corrected. I can assure you once they have addressed the issue it will not occur again.

We hope to see you again during your next trip to Seattle.

Sincerely,

Jonathan BartlettGeneral Manager

Justin C,

Honestly, I did not even read your review. Why bother when the title says it all. I stopped counting all the exclamation marks because clearly we nailed it.

Thank you so much.

We chose this hotel due to its close proximity to UW. We stayed there 2 nights and just left yesterday. Extremely convenient. The front desk staff was very friendly and provided an excellent atmosphere. We stayed on the 16th floor the first night in one of the larger suites. It had a very large bathroom and a deck from which you could get a panoramic view of the area. Safeway is down the street and a Chevron is just down the block. We had only 2 issues. It is in the middle of a busy neighborhood so the street noice at night was quite noticeable. It's just the nature of being in a large city. The other issue is that we were charged $16 a day for parking. If this were downtown Seattle I could understand it more.Wifi was free. Breakfast was quite nice downstairs and reasonably priced. Tullys on the ground floor for coffee. Security was also nice in that you needed a room key to use in the elevator that would let you get to your specific floor. In any case I recommend this hotel highly and will be booking again in September.

Hello marc m,

First of all…GO HUSKIES!!!! We are right there with you on that. Second, thank you for taking the time to write about your visit to the hotel. I also really appreciate that you would highly recommend us to any future guests. That means a lot to us.

It is tough because as a city center hotel the natural noise from the street and neighborhood can be distracting. However it sounds like this did not dampen your stay or prevent you from returning in the future. As you mentioned, we have so many fantastic amenities at the hotel it is definitely worth the visit.

Thank you again,

Sincerely,

Jonathan BartlettGeneral Manager

Clean. Modern furnishings. Big rooms. Fantastic View and close to all the University District has to offer. We chose this due to its proximity to the Neptune Theatre (across the street) where he had a wonderful evening at a Patty Griffin concert.

Room Tip: We had a nice large room, though i hear there are small rooms. Go for the big room.

Dear jazger,

Thank you for your review. We are all so excited you enjoyed your visit to the hotel. I hope the concert was fantastic as well. The Neptune is just about the coolest venue in Seattle to see a show. Amazing history and ambience. We were pumped when they renovated the theatre and started filling it up with dynamic shows.

Hopefully we will see you again the next time you attend a show at the Neptune.

Stayed here after climbing in the North Cascades and it is a great hotel. Fun bright modern decor, rooms very clean and the staff were superb. We got a park, eat, play package for a great deal. No parking costs, and free breakfast! Loved it!

We recently went on an Alaskan Cruise, and our Travel Agent recommended Hotel Deca because it was less expensive than other hotels near the cruise terminals. The hotel is located near the University and a few shops. We only stayed for one night. The hotel is older, but the room we were in was updated and clean. The only complaint I have about this hotel is that there is not a complimentary breakfast. Also, the breakfast (which we paid for) was expensive and limited. Overall, a good place to stay and only about 15 minutes to the cruise terminal. The hotel provides a shuttle to the cruise terminal, but not back. Taxi ride was $19.

Room Tip: The receptionist asked if we wanted to upgrade our room to a Queen suite. The only difference was a...

Dear Ari W,

Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience. I am glad the only issue that arose during your visit was the fact that we do not offer a complimentary breakfast. As a full service hotel we do not offer complimentary breakfast however at times we will offer packages that include various options like breakfast. These packages are a great option so please check on our website for the latest and greatest inclusive packages. They do change depending on the season but they are fantastic.

Thank you again. We hope to see you again during your next trip to Seattle.
